Penerapan Algoritma Decision Tree C4.5 Pada Test MBTI Berbasis Web

Studi Kasus: Universitas Katolik Musi Charitas

Abstract

A major problem in student personality assessment is the manual process of completing and interpreting test results, which leads to subjective bias and delays in counseling services. To address this, this study applies the Decision Tree C4.5 algorithm to a web-based MBTI test to produce an objective and efficient personality type classification. This study discusses the implementation of the Decision Tree C4.5 algorithm in a web-based Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test to classify students’ personality types at Musi Charitas Catholic University. The research objectives are (1) to apply and evaluate the Decision Tree C4.5 algorithm in personality classification based on MBTI test results, and (2) to develop a counseling support system capable of providing automatic, objective, and easy-to-understand classification results. The research method employed is development research (Research and Development) using the Waterfall model, including requirement analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and evaluation. The C4.5 algorithm was implemented to construct a classification model based on decision rules, which was then integrated into the web application. System testing using Black-Box and White-Box methods ensured that the system operates according to specifications and that all logical paths have been tested. Evaluation results indicate a classification accuracy of approximately 86% with consistent precision, recall, and F1-score values, demonstrating the effectiveness of the C4.5 algorithm in personality type classification. The system improves efficiency, accessibility, and objectivity in personality assessment compared to manual methods and can support sustainable student counseling and development services.
